Usage

Here is an example of making request to Geocoding API:

By default, where appropriate, output parameter set to JSON. Don't forget to decode JSON string into PHP variable. See Processing Response for more details on parsing returning output.

Required parameters can be specified as an array of key:value pairs:

Alternatively parameters can be set using setParamByKey() method. For deeply nested array use "dot" notation as per example below.

Another example showing request to Places API Place Add service:
